INTRODUCTION

To get the best out of your new appliance, please read this user

guide carefully before using it for the ﬁrst time. We also re

-

commend that you keep the instructions for future reference, so

that you can remind yourself of the functions of your apparatus.

SAFETY MEASURES

• The appliance, cord or plug must not be placed in water or

any other liquid.

• Never touch the appliance, cord or plug with wet or damp

hands.

• Never leave the appliance unattended when it is switched on.

Children should be supervised when using it.

• Switch the vacuum cleaner off and unplug it when it is not in

use, and before you change the dust bag or clean the air ﬁlter.

• Avoid pulling the cord when removing the plug from the

socket. Instead, hold the plug. Keep hold of the plug when

rewinding the cord, so that it does not strike the appliance.

• Keep the cord and appliance away from heat sources, hot

objects and naked ﬂames.

• Never use the appliance if it, the cord or plug is damaged or

if the appliance is not functioning correctly. Never use the ap

-

pliance unless it has a dust bag, air ﬁlter and air ﬁlter ﬁtted.

• Only use accessories manufactured or recommended by the

manufacturer.

• The appliance is for indoor domestic use only. Do not use it

on wet surfaces. Take particular care when vacuuming stairs,

due to the risk of falling.

• Do not use the appliance to vacuum up matches, hot ashes,

cigarette butts, hard or sharp objects, wet or damp substan

-

ces, combustible materials (petrol, solvents, etc.) or vapour

from these.

• Do not vacuum ﬁne dust from construction materials such as

sheetrock, brick, etc.

• Do not cover the appliance’s suction or exhaust port. Ensure

that you keep clothing, hair and body parts away from the

nozzle and moving parts of the appliance.

• Never try to repair the appliance yourself. If the apparatus,

cable or plug needs to be repaired, it should be taken to an

authorised service centre. Please contact the store where you

bought the appliance for repairs under guarantee.

PREPARING THE APPLIANCE

• Attach the hose (4) to the appliance by inserting it into the

hose connector (2) until you hear a click. To remove the hose,

press the buttons at the side of the hose and pull it out of the

hose connector.

• Connect the two parts of the telescopic tube (9), and ﬁt the

required nozzle (see under Use) to the end of the tube.

USE

• Pull the cord (16) out of the appliance. The cord must not be

pulled out any further than the red mark. Plug in and switch

the power on.

• Press the on/off button (7) to start and stop the appliance.

• While in use, the suction strength can be regulated by ope

-

ning and closing the air valve (6) on the handle (5) at the end

of the hose.

• The nozzles are to be used as follows:

Floor nozzle (10) Floors (brushes out)

Carpets (brushes in)

• The ﬂoor nozzle has two settings. When cleaning hard sur-

faces (stone ﬂooring, tiles, etc.), the nozzle brushes should

be extended. When cleaning carpets and rugs, the brushes

should be retracted into the nozzle. Press the brush change

button (11) to switch between the two settings.

Tip:

• If you wish to interrupt vacuuming with the ﬂoor nozzle in or

-

der to move furniture and such, you can place the ﬂoor nozzle

in the vertical parking holder (14) on the back of the appara-

tus..

• The bag change indicator (3) will normally be green. If it

changes to red when the vacuum cleaner is in use, or if the

suction strength is signiﬁcantly reduced, the dust bag must

be changed. If the indicator remains red after the bag has

been replaced, it may be due to one of the following reasons:

o The hose or nozzle is clogged.

o The air ﬁlter is dirty.

• Investigate what is causing the indicator to remain red and

deal with the problem. The appliance must not be used if the

indicator is red. This may cause irreparable damage to the

motor.

CHANGING THE DUST BAG

If the suction strength of the ap

-

pliance is reduced, this may be

because the bag needs changing.

• Lift the ﬂoor nozzle from the

ﬂoor.

• Switch the appliance on, and

keep an eye on the bag change

indicator. If it is red, the bag

must be changed.

• Turn off the appliance again.

• Remove the hose.

• Lift the dust bag cover by pres

-

sing the dust bag cover handle

in and pushing the cover up

until it locks into place.

• Carefully pull the dust bag out

of the plastic rails on the base

of the apparatus (see illustra-

tion).

• Throw the bag in the bin. Make

sure that there are no holes in

it. Do not fold it.

• Place a new bag in the rails on

the base of the apparatus. Check that it is ﬁtted ﬁrmly and

correctly. Never use the apparatus unless it has a dust bag

ﬁtted.

• Close the cover and make sure that it locks into position with

a click.

CLEANING/REPLACING THE MOTOR FILTER

The motor ﬁlter is the ﬁlter behind

the dust bag. The appliance

must not be used if the motor

ﬁlter is not in place.

• Open the dust bag cover by

pressing in the handle.

• Remove the dust bag or push it

aside.

• Remove the ﬁlter sponge (as

shown), or clean it as described

under Cleaning.

• Place the ﬁlter sponge in the

plastic railings on the base of

the apparatus.

• Remember to replace the dust

bag again.

We recommend that you clean the ﬁlter at least twice a year or as

needed.

CHANGING THE AIR FILTER

The rear luft ﬁlter, which is located

behind the exhaust grille (15), ﬁlters

the exhaust air emitted by the ap-

pliance. The appliance must not be

used if the air ﬁlter is not in place.

• Remove the exhaust grille by

pressing down the release

button and pulling the exhaust

grille out.

• Remove the ﬁlter (as shown)

and replace it with a new one.

• Close the exhaust grill so that it

locks into place iwth a click.

We recommend replacing the air

ﬁlter after 4 to 6 months’ use, when

it becomes dirty, or if the suction

force of the appliance is reduced.

TRANSPORT AND STORAGE

• You can lift and carry the appliance using the carrying handle

(18). Never pull or lift the appliance by the cord.

• Before putting the appliance away, rewind the cord. Switch

off at the socket, unplug, and press the automatic cord re

-

wind button (8) until the cord is fully rewound.

• The combination nozzle can be stored in the holder (17) on

the back of the appliance.

• The ﬂoor nozzle can be placed in the parking holder (1) on the

back of the appliance during storage.

CLEANING

• Clean the appliance by wiping it with a damp cloth.

• You must not use any form of solvent, or strong or abrasive

cleaning agent.

• Make sure all ﬁlters are kept clean (see above). Replace the

ﬁlters once they become worn or can no longer be cleaned.
